Pet care experience

Caring and energetic with a genuine love for dogs.

*We are not taking on new dogs at the moment* We absolutely love caring for dogs, have grown up with dogs since childhood and regularly look after dogs of friends and family now we have our own home. We have our own little dog who is extremely friendly with people and dogs and loves to play. Although we have a fenced garden, I am a keen walker/jogger who will happily take dogs out several times a day.

First time i had left my 8 month Ted for more than 2 hours, but found Sam and Rocky and how lucky I felt to be able to enjoy my holiday, many many updates that I loved, I could see how happy Ted was Sam, Max and the beautiful Rocky thank you, I’m sorry my boy decided to be naughty for the week , Hopefully he will be able too stay again as he had the best week and would definitely recommend 🐶x

Max stayed with Sam for 9 days whilst we were on holiday. He was very well looked after and got on well with Sam's dog Rocky. We had updates of how he was and photos which was great. One Happy doggie and will certainly be booking him in when we go away again.

Bella always has a great time when she stays at Samantha’s she gets on well with Rocky and goes for some lovely walks. Sam keeps us updated during Bella’s stay with photos and videos and we can enjoy our holiday knowing she is being well cared for.

After a little mishap at the very start we were assured our fur baby was being cared for as we would have liked. Sam kept us up to date with photos of our dog on a daily basis to assure us she was ok. We will definitely use Sam and Max again when required.
